Reply to "How to tell difference between blockage and gas pain"

I have only had  true blocks with the ostomy but I too thought I was experiencing a blockage with the j pouch twice when the gas became horrific and there was no output for hours. Both eventually passed and I think it was indeed gas. My go-to for all intestinal woes these days is chewable ginger which are indicated for nausea but I find they help me a great deal. Sometimes I wonder if it's a bit of a placebo, but really, do I care? There was no question with the ostomy blockages. They would always start with upper stomach gas but then the vomiting would begin. 

I hope you find relief. I often find pain scary.
